Makerware log file location
If makerware ever tells you to check its log, they are saved to:
/Users/6dlab/Things/Logs
A new log is created every time the program is started so if you are trying to isolate an error, quit the program, start again and then try to reproduce the error.

What to do if the Afinia print head jams
First see if there is any extra material that can be removed from the print head (threads). If removing these does not fix the problem, Fletcher Grow in the engineering department has another solution:
If when loading the ABS filament you hear a clicking noise, you can fix the problem by taking off the extruding head and soaking it in acetone for about 20 minutes. After that wash off the head.
